VBoxAdditions Auto Mounts on 4.2.10

Post by claytoncarney »

Just wondering if any one else is experiencing this problem...

Since updating to 4.2.10, my Ubuntu guest keeps auto mounting the VBoxAdditions disc at startup. It never did that before. I've reinstalled the guest additions several times and ejected the disc, but it keeps coming back on every restart/shutdown.

Any ideas?

Did you actually remove the disk from the VM config? or simply ejected it from within the guest?

Thanks noteirak... If you mean Settings->Storage->Storage Tree, then yes, that appears to be the problem. Very odd - I've been using VBox for years and never had this happen before.
